Top Pennsylvania officials and lawmakers will not get the automatic cost-of-living raise this year.
The increase is tied to the U.S. Consumer Price Index for the Philadelphia metropolitan region, which measures inflation over a 12-month period.
Usually it increases, but this year it declined.
That means lawmakers' salaries will remain at just over $78,000.
Gov. Ed Rendell, the state's judges and other top state officials will also not receive a cost-of-living increase.
